"Two 6's Upside Down" lyrics - DROPKICK MURPHYS

It's a long old time in a hard rock jail
It's a long old time gone by
It's a long old time I've laid in jail
And I still got 99

You see I set myself in a gambling game
And I couldn't half play my hand
I was thinking 'bout that woman I loved
Run away with another man

Run away with another man
Run away with another man
I was thinking 'bout that woman I loved
Run away with another man

The cards come 'round the table, Lord
I had such a worried mind
My stack of gold, I wasted away
And I lost 'bout 99

I lost 'bout 99
I lost 'bout 99
My stack of gold, I wasted away
And I lost 'bout 99

I walked into the hock shop, boys
I got me a big.44
I was thinking 'bout that woman I loved
That I'd never see no more

That I'd never see no more
That I'd never see no more
I was thinking 'bout that woman I loved
That I'd never see no more

It wasn't long 'til I seen him again
He run away, left her behind
I laid him low with my old.44
And the judge give me 99

The judge give me 99
The judge give me 99
I laid him low with my old.44
And the judge give me 99

The jury said "you'll have to pay"
The clerk, he looked around
The mean old judge, he spoke my number, Lord
Two 6's upside down

Two 6's upside down
Two 6's upside down
The mean old judge, he called my number, Lord
Two 6's upside down

It's a long old time in a hard rock jail
It's a long old time gone by
It's a long old time I've laid in jail
And I still got 99

It's a long old time in a hard rock jail
It's a long old time gone by
It's a long old time laid in this jail
And I still got 99

Two 6's upside down

Two 6's upside down
